Gordon Agenor, 23, was convicted Friday of Aggravated Assault with Actual Possession and Discharge of a Firearm. State Attorney Angela Corey's office says he fired a gun at a Jacksonville Taco Bell coworker following a May 2011 fist fight.

A 23-year-old man who used Florida’s Stand Your Ground law as a defense was convicted Friday for firing a handgun at a Taco Bell coworker following a fist fight, according to State Attorney Angela Corey’s office.

Gordon Agenor and Marquis Brown worked at the fast food restaurant on Atlantic Boulevard in May 2011 when the two got into a scuffle, a news release says. After the fight, Agenor went to his truck and grabbed a gun from the glove compartment.

Brown ran across Atlantic when he saw the weapon, and Agenor fired at him three times “during broad daylight and rush hour traffic,” prosecutors said. Agenor said he was trying to “wound” Brown.

“Detectives did not accept Agenor’s self-defense claim at face value and instead pieced together significant physical evidence, witness testimony and defendant statements that would later disprove his Stand Your Ground claim,” Sykes said in the news release. “Innocent bystanders also witnessed the shooting and came forward to testify and assist in securing justice in this case.”

Agenor was convicted on a count of aggravated assault with actual possession and discharge of a firearm.

He faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 20 years in prison, with sentencing set for October.

But that is not my problem, either. I don't own a gun, so it doesn't really matter to me one way or the other. All I ask of gun owners is to use their weapons responsibly and live within the law of the land. Case closed, and have a wonderful week. :)

You see, that is precisely the problem. The subject is so polarizing that no matter which way the "impartial" panel decides, one side or the other will claim bias, regardless of peer review. The Supreme Court has decided, yet objections continue to be raised. The country has been pro-gun for over 100 years, has swayed to anti-gun for the last fifty or so, and the pendulum is now swinging back. I suspect it will continue to do so back and forth for the foreseeable future.
